Habits for massive productivity EVERY DAY.
Many of you are in the habit of exercise, a very powerful asset to your life. But hooking yourself into this habit is the hard part.
Making a habit easy is part of your solution.
For instance, my early morning habits go in order. I go to bed fairly early, and at that moment, my clothes are READY for the morning.
I shave, clean my teeth, but before that I have fed the dogs, got my porridge ready, put the kettle on and mostly, these go like clockwork EVERY DAY.
It makes my start to the day without stress, and I’m primed to do well. My DAILY HABITS are so ingrained, that I don’t even think about them anymore.
Are you having trouble making your workouts?
EASY habit would be getting your kit ready right now READY for tomorrow. Some of you do this with great success.
Trouble eating rubbish on the way to work after having missed breakfast?
EASY habit would be making sure right now you have breakfast ready for tomorrow, all you need is to put it in a bowl-EASY.
You WON’T fully take up a habit IF it is hard to do, or it requires much though to do it.
You come to the gym, I teach you the workout. We make it even easier by filming it and sending it to you, and we have vast resources too at www.kerimckibbin.co.uk, making it easy to do home workouts, do our gym workouts, recipes, or just get fired up, its all there-EASY.
You can make life for yourself MUCH easier if you plan your day, line everything up, tough to start with maybe, and maybe a pain for you but you will find you become so much more efficient with your time, and get much more out of every day without fail.

Here’s the secret to get what you want.
Let’s use an example of hair, if you have ever walked into a hairdresser, and your hair is not in the best condition, they will advise how to treat it better, maybe use a product that will help, and this will continue over a few visits.
When it is shiny and looking great, you suddenly show pride with your hair, you show pride too at the efforts needed to get there. You are proud to show off your new hair.
If you want to get into great physical condition, then we will tell you how to do it. From the small physical and eating habits, from the.points like drinking more water, to hanging out with more positive people, we do it so it’s sustainable for you so you can be proud of your results long term.
No gimmicks or fads, a true lifestyle change and you walk the talk, not just talking a good game on social media.
All of you will show great pride when you have initial success. The problem becomes when you stop practicing the habits that got you in better shape to start with.
You suddenly think “I can do this no problem with no effort”, this is when the great decline starts, and when you put weight back on, the pride vanishes too, and low negative thoughts start to creep in and make your life miserable, compounding your lack of motivation to get going again.
You haven’t given your habits a chance to bed in, so you become used to living healthily without even thinking about it. A healthy lifestyle takes time, took you a lot of years to get out of shape in the first place, it takes some time to get you back to your good levels of health again. Best to be honest with you if you want lifetime lasting good health.
Unless you have enough pride in yourself to go for regular walks, to hit the gym a minimum 3 times a week and eat naturally as possible, then you will never get anywhere where you need to be, and want to be.
We are proud to give you maximum accountability, measure you regularly and coach you every session, and change our programmes very often to create huge results.
It may be a lot easier to join another gym/weight loss place or somewhere that offers lots of gimmicks/measures the wrong health indicators, where you are not accountable anymore. Re-discovering your health means doing it the right way, no more blind alleys or charlatans selling you “magic powders”.
You can “go under the radar” other places, because nobody really cares, nobody holds you accountable and they definitely won’t coach you every session. It may be a lot easier, and you don’t have to show any pride anymore because nobody gives a damn if you improve or not. All they care about is the contract they have put you on, they don’t care much about the HELPING you part.
Anything that’s worth achieving is worth working for over the long term, doing it the right way, and once you achieve meaningful results, then it’s unavoidable you will show enormous PRIDE in yourself and your efforts again.
Good healthy habits eventually stick, and when they do it’s easy to live a healthy lifestyle, and enjoy feeling great every day.

Why training partners are a great idea (but almost NEVER long term).
I love the idea of trainers partners, you get pushed a bit harder, you get excited about your training and the results are great. I LOVE it!
I have had many training partners myself and benefitted IMMENSELY, each has pushed me on to new heights.
Then there’s the downside.
Your partner starts being 15 minutes late for training, then 30 minutes and soon enough starts missing sessions. You get kept waiting, threw your initial enthusiasm for your session, and stopped your progress in its tracks.
Then your training partner has to have a week off, so you have two choices. You either have the week off myself in a “loyalty to my training partner” sort of way thinking, then promise yourself that “next week” will be IT and we will CRUSH it!!! This is DISASTEROUS thinking!!!!!!!!
Then monday morning comes and you get a text saying that your partner cant make it tonight, or tomorrow and maybe at the end of the week.
You feel lost without him/her and training becomes without so much meaning.
The two weeks off becomes two MONTHS, and people ask if you are still training? You say ‘sort of’ but I’m ‘missing my training partner’. This sounds a good enough excuse after all right? “I sound like a pro now don’t i now that I have a training partner?”.
I don’t have to tell you how ridiculous this sounds, so please LEARN from so many who have come and go before you at the gym, I LOVE training partners but use them for short periods and ultimately TRUST yourself. Don’t wish away your time left on earth and don’t give someone else control of your life, especially when you could be easily improving on your OWN ACCORD.
I have seen people have two weeks off and it turn into two years because they don’t have the confidence to start back again. Truly heartbreaking.
My advice is RELY on yourself or you live your live BASED on others and their decisions which is a HORRENDOUS plan. If your happiness is really dependant on others, then you wont have much of a life.
If you rely on yourself, then you WILL hit your workout 3-4 times a week, you meet and get to know others better and your progress and hopes in life don’t get put on hold.
Start of the new year, make it YOUR plan to show up for every session no matter what ‘OTHER’ people have planned. Guaranteed success this way and love the results which WILL come your way.
